As Diego Escobar has mentioned, many people around the world have slow internet connection. How about having a feature (possibly in kernel itself) to make updates using _idle_ bandwidth only? By idle I mean which is currently not being used and is free. This would also keep responsiveness in other network applications. We can use current traffic control tools like tc to implement this.
This might take some extra time and in no way making the network faster but user would be able to keep the system updated in best possible way on slow internet connection.
